How to disable flash? - Sony a6000

Hello.

 

Can anybody explain me of how to disable a flash in any of P/A/S/M modes?

My Sony a6000 camera says me that I can't disable flash in those modes. But, why?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.

Currently I'm just using a black tape on front of the optical cable holes and let the internal flash fire even ext strobe is off.

Its the same with the a350 a nuisance when doing bird photography either the noise of the flash popping up or the flash itself scares them away before the shutter fires .

This appears to still be a problem in 2020.

Combined with the hot shoe detection flash 'preview' mode on the display and some other Sony weirdness ...

Regretting buying into Sony now 😞
